The Wachowskis' upcoming film Cloud Atlas looks to be big and potentially awesome. Also, a little confusing. But don't worry—they're here to explain how it works, and they've brought star Tom Hanks along to help.

Although The Matrix was a game-changing instant sci-fi classic when it came out in 1999, its two sequels—2003's The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions—failed to inspire fans in the same way. And one of the directors thinks she knows why.

All we've really seen from the Wachowskis' grand new flick Cloud Atlas are some mighty fine trailers, which do show off the gorgeous set pieces—but not quite how it all fits together. Now we finally have a feel for how it's connected.

Earlier this month, we got another stunning trailer for Andy and Lana Wachowski's time-jumping sci-fi epic, Cloud Atlas. Now it's poster time. Check out the brand new imagery that showcases much of the film's huge cast.

A few weeks ago, we were absolutely floored by the epic 6-minute trailer for Andy and Lana Wachowski's time-jumping Cloud Atlas. Now a new, much shorter trailer has hit the 'net with a more refined take on the film's central message: "Everything Is Connected."

Up until recently, the Wachowskis managed to keep a lot of details about their epic, generation-spanning flick Cloud Atlas under wraps. But ever since the official trailer debuted, the floodgates have officially opened. Now an awesome piece of concept art has surfaced, showing just how gorgeous the future can be.
